Hi, Jack!

Did I just hijack this thread?

What is the originalists view of the federal judiciary? What is the "progressive" view? Which do you find most persuasive and why? Which is likely to dominate the Supreme Court in the future? What do you see as the relationship between federalism and anti-federalism and progressivism and constructionism?

I sincerely hope this is a rhetorical question. Do you really not know the difference? Do you really think that judges following, being bound and restricted by the Constitution is no different than judges who bend and twist the Constitution to fit their particular ideology?

The difference is the rule of law vs. the rule of five.

It's the difference between By the people, for the people and of the people and By lawyers, for lawyers and of lawyers.

It's "obey your sacred oath of office" or "obey your particular ideological leanings"

Do you have a question??

None of those words matter much. What matters is that someone can actually read our constitution and follow the guidelines the founders painstakingly wrote for us...
